An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 127

However, her pregnancy would definitely be exposed if she were to undergo a complete medical checkup. As Margaret had not figured out how to tell Christopher the truth, she needed to come up with a plan to get herself out of the sticky situation.’ “I see. Since I'm heading out soon, I'll go to the hospital once I've attended to my matters, and I'll give you the report once it's ready. It's inconvenient for you to follow me around while I carry out my errands, anyway. Would this be okay for you?”

When she noticed Noah's hesitation, she added, “Otherwise, you won't be able to report back to him. Anyhow, you will have the medical report. It'll lead to the same result.”

Finally, he nodded. “All right, then. Please contact me once the medical report is ready, and I'll come and collect it.”

Margaret nodded. After having her breakfast, she left the house

In truth, she was not planning to go out that day. Unexpectedly, Christopher ordered Noah to bring her for a medical checkup. She wanted to contact Jodie and ask for her help, but the latter did not answer the phone.

Left with no choice, Margaret could only head to the hospital by herself.

Upon arriving at the hospital, she consulted the doctor regarding details for the medical checkup and avoided examinations that were not suitable for pregnant women. When she received the medical report, she repeatedly checked the results before handing it over to Noah and said, “The doctor told me that I'm just a bit anemic, that's all.”

However, Noah was quite skeptical about her remarks. He was aware that Margaret's “gastric pain” had reached the point of chronic nausea. How is it possible that she’s only suffering from anemia? In the end, he had another person review the medical report. Only when he ascertained there was nothing wrong with it did he give it to Christopher

Looking at the stack of papers on the table, Christopher did not seem the least bit annoyed. He then scrutinized each test result carefully and meticulously.

Noah stood aside and pointed out, “I've had someone review the medical report, and they confirmed that her anemic symptoms were slightly severe. Also, some tests were not carried out, but it shouldn't be a huge problem.”

Christopher nodded, but his brows soon puckered in a frown. How can she be severely anemic again when she has been taking nourishing foods for quite some time now? He then called the Lewis residence and instructed Fredrick, who answered the call, “Tell the people in the kitchen to stock up on more iron-rich ingredients.”

Once he received Fredrick’s affirmative response, Christopher turned his attention to the pile of work documents on his table again.

Noah then said in a low voice, “I'll take my leave now.”

Christopher nodded. All of a sudden, there was a knock on his office door. Noah went to open the door and frowned when he saw it was Megan standing outside the room. Even so, he left without saying anything.

Megan click-clacked into the office in her high heels. At that sound, Christopher furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Putting on an aggrieved expression, she said, “I know you're busy these days, so I didn't dare to bother you. But I really missed you! I came to visit you since I happened to pass by your office. I'm not going to bother you too much. Carry on with your work; I'll leave in a bit.

He glanced at her indifferently and replied, “If you have something to tell me, just say it now.” Since he had seen through her true intention, she did not beat around the bush. “Christopher, have you considered the partnership proposal we discussed with you at your house last time?”

“I've looked into it, and the current state of your company is not in my consideration at the moment,” he said impassively.

Megan's face turned slightly pale. She assumed he was likely to accept their proposal since he had allowed her and Hannah to discuss the collaboration at his home. Never did she expect things to turn out that way. “Christopher, even though my family isn't as powerful as yours, we're still quite well-known in the industry. Perhaps you could try to form a partnership with us first, just for my sake.”

Nevertheless, Christopher's stance was firm. “I've already made myself very clear. Furthermore, I hope you can be professional. If the Jenkins family is a viable business partner, I will consider it, regardless of anyone's sake. You should leave first as I'm quite busy right now.”

Even though Megan was unwilling to give up, she dared not say anything else.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the medical report at the corner of the table. As soon as she noticed Margaret's name on it, she clenched her teeth tightly. Despite her anger, she affected a gentle expression and replied, “In that case... I'll take my leave then. Take care, and don't overwork yourself.”
